An API becomes 'official' ... when its uses but
most of the
developers. Remember the old days of OS9 when the 'official' MIDI
API was Opcode OMS.... when MidiShare was already in the field. The
official is not always the 'best' one, but the one pushed by
powerful people... and/or at the right time.
i beg to differ. a good developers maxim might be: whatever API you
choose, make it famous.
in my opinion, MidiShare has provent its worth as a working
code-base, even before Linux. the few elitists in a select crowd or
two might well recognize that fact.
